How could Liverpool look with Thomas Lemar

How could Liverpool line up if they signed Thomas Lemar from Monaco?

”Lemar, also wanted by Manchester United and on Jose Mourinho’s recruitment list for a winger - probably too expensive for them - and Liverpool (who) tried to get him in the summer and had an agreement with him to come but Arsenal gazumped them with more money so the player didn’t move.

”The boot is probably now on the other foot, in that deal.

”Lemar has still told Liverpool he will go, if they can get a deal.

”But Liverpool now have to come to an agreement on price with Monaco and they are holding off on that because Monaco, intelligently enough, realise there are three of the top English clubs wanting the player and they can wait.

”They can do a deal now or they can wait and they are looking at least at £85m as a transfer fee, potentially more for a 22-year-old player with a few years of Champions League experience.”

Lemar blossomed as Monaco won the Ligue 1 title last term.

But the 22-year-old has found things tougher this season.

Lemar has found the net just three times from 19 games since his move to England collapsed.
